Hello and thanks for reading!

I'm living in Norway for a year, returning to Fredericton in July! 

I'm interested in studying beer fermentation to see if I can optimize any steps.

I'm also looking for other recipe software that knocks your socks off, I like brewers friend the most, when compared to beersmith2.

Welcome!

I read Larsblog and beer history and beer styles from that part of europe always really fascinate me. Are there any unique local beers you've tried that really stick out?

I just use beersmith myself. I tried the free parts of brewers friend years ago but I haven't tried it since.

Welcome to the club!

I started all grain brewing using "BrewMate" but switched to BeerSmith shortly after and haven't looked back since. It gets my vote  :cheers:
Give a man a beer and he'll waste an hour, teach him how to brew beer and he'll waste a lifetime.

I've managed to replicate my favorite Norwegian beer with this recipe https://www.brewersfriend.com/homebrew/recipe/view/546593/norwegian-wood-small-batch
I'm also having good fun exploring saison's and porters. 
This past weekend I was lucky to attend a JuleOl festival, with 28 Christmas beers being tasted.   The best were
Haandbryggeriet Fat store Nissemor, and
Renaissance Abundance Baltic Cherry Porter

Thanks for your link!

That is a lot of smoked malt! How much of the juniper and yeast came through with that much smoked malt?

The juniper is subtle, as it was used as a means to sanitize and clean equipment traditionally.  It does come through.  The yeast, I'm not sure what strain it is, so I'm unsure what it's bringing to the beer.  I will say that it is delicious, and the folks that have tasted it so far agree, at least when I'm present. 

On a separate note, the recipe that I shared is what I meant to brew, but I goofed when I placed the grain order, which was ground and mixed for pickup, ordering 1 Kg of each grain!   This might explain why it doesn't seem overpowering at all and is a delight. This link points to the 1 Kg version https://www.brewersfriend.com/homebrew/recipe/view/552700/norwegian-wood-1kg-version  I had been meaning to correct my mistake and try the intended version I shared, originally. 

Cheers

Um how do I like other's posts?  I never see a like button.  I'm guessing I need level of a Paliden or something?

Often wondered that as well, only thing in the top right corner of the posts on mine is the "quote" button.
